It seems like every time I search for baseball oriented items (like stickers, night lights, gift bags, etc.) all that’s available is football, soccer, and basketball. I don’t get it! Isn’t baseball supposed to be America’s favorite pastime?

We are definitely a baseball family. Son plays, father plays…and coaches. I grew up watching it with my dad and have always loved it. I know it’s a slow sport, but it’s also very complicated. I’m still learning new things all these years later.

After hibernating through the winter, we always look forward to Spring ball – bring on the clean turf, snack shack, and families we don’t see very often! But by June, we are DONE. Done with the league politics, rules, and drama – it’s changed so much since I was a kid. Then we get a nice long break in the summer, which makes us all excited for Fall ball! Rinse, repeat.

This year, however, Fall ball has been cancelled due to low registration numbers. We are beyond bummed. And I just cannot get on board with football. Ugh. So maybe…tennis?

Football season is right around the corner though, and even though I couldn’t care less about watching the games, it’s always a great excuse to have friends over. And feed them. Dips.

Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chorizo from the casings and add to the hot pan (without any oil), cook, stirring and breaking up the meat, until bubbling and completely separated, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese and taco seasoning until combined and smooth; spread in an even layer inside the skillet, followed by the salsa verde and cooked chorizo.

Sprinkle with the cheese. Scatter the chiles over the top.

Place in the oven and bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15-20 minutes.

I love your post! I also love baseball! We are a baseball/softball family!! Unfortunately, my son is graduating next year so not sure if he’ll be playing after that. My daughter plays travel and school so softball is year round. And I also am learning new things always with baseball. I think it’s the best!!! Agree with football and agree with making dips!! This one sounds awesome!! Can hardly wait to make it!!!

Going to try this for the game playing group tonight and will try it out the way it is done, but may add a couple of things next time if it turns out well. I’m thinking about some sort of crumbled queso blanco cheese in addition to Mexican cheese and possibly using poblano instead of green chile, course be so close to Hatch (less than half day away from Tucson). I may also try making my own “taco seasoning.

Poblano? Rattlesnake is the variety we prefer here in Southern New Mexico,this is a newer variety this year. It’s yummy! Try lumbre’, Joe Parker and Sandia. These also have a true green chile flavor. All grown here in the Mesilla Valley!
